A well-preserved medieval curtain-walled castle with circular towers, a central motte and expansive lawns — ideal for architectural detail, wide panoramas of the Suffolk landscape and historical atmosphere. Best at sunrise or golden hour for warm light; blue hour after sunset for silhouette shots. English Heritage site with paid entry and a car park on Church St; weekdays and early mornings avoid crowds. Limited step-free access to some areas; check opening times before visiting.
